eli5: why does 68 degrees F feel so different in the summer vs the winter.

283 views

We sleep with the temperature at 68 degrees F all year round unless we are able to leave the windows open. We live in NY. In the winter 68 degrees F in our home requires us to wear long sleeves, whereas now in the evenings with the central AC set to 68 degrees F we only need shorts and a tank/t-shirt. Basically, why does the same temperature feel so different during our different seasons here in New York?

One is pushing heat to raise the temp to 68, and the other is pushing cold AC to lower the temp to 68. Same temp, but you’re feeling how it’s getting to that temp.
